Turkish Officer's Sword
Hi Guys,
Don't think it is a band sword due to the size and the inclusion of decoration (albeit small) on the blade. I have examples of grips carved in both bone and ivory in this style that are English as well as American, so I will pursue those avenues at this stage.
At least now I know I am not looking for a Turkish Sword, which is more than I knew when it first arrived.
Cheers Cathey and Rex
